Rangelands occupy 47 percent of the earth's total land area; they are a productive and
important resource. In Oklahoma alone there are 23 million acres of rangeland
encompassing 50 percent of the state's land area. These rangelands, and the renewable resources they support, are highly important to us.

The Society for Range Management is a professional organization composed of individuals with a common interest in the study, management and rational use of rangelands and related ecosystems. Members include ranchers, wildlife managers, conservationists, scientists, students, and others interested in rangelands.
